Our family of 5 visited, with children aged 13,9 and 6, on Friday evening. We had a brilliant time. Our host Tierney was incredible and elevated the experience with such a wonderful energy and gave us help when we needed a nudge in the right direction.
The escape room was very well designed and the puzzles well thought out. Perfect for the children but not easy. We made it out with only a few minutes to spare!
We would highly it, Thank you Z-arts!

Amazing unique family friendly escape room! Celebrated my daughter’s 9th birthday today. She and her friends went by themselves assisted by the venue host Anna. Big shoutout to her as she ensured the girls had the best time and escaped just with just 30 seconds to spare. By far the best birthday activity!

Fantastic experience. 5 person family with 3 young daughters. They loved it! Lots of wow moments for them and they were still talking about all the rest of the day. Luckily we managed to finish it all and only went over our time slot a little. Highly recommend it for a young family .
